Development Blog - Animation Presets, New Toys, Gameplay Improvements, Improved Procedural Environments, New Enemies, New Weapons and more!

Hello everyone! 👽

Whew... The past few weeks have been incredibly productive behind the scenes!

New features currently completed or in development:

• Custom Animation Presets! Soon you’ll be able to save your favourite poses and animations as shareable presets. Everything including captured motions, animation slots, expressions, hand poses etc gets saved to a .cha file in the animations folder, which you'll be able to share in the community!

• Overhauled how the game handles static objects, allowing for many more spawnables to be added.

  • All objects now organized into categories.

  • Scale control for all objects

  • New water object can be used to create pools etc

  • Coming Soon: Eventually I plan to add hundreds more objects to the game

• Implementing new gameplay mechanics

• Building new enemy types and behaviours

• Balancing enemy spawns

• Adding new weapons

• Giving The Broken Core a major overhaul with new room types, much greater procedural variety, and a difficulty setting

• New insertable fruit and vegetable toys

• Particle effects scale is now adjustable

• Writing the rest of the campaign and locking down the story

• Creating concept art for the brand-new locations you'll explore across the galaxy!

The procedural environments are becoming far more varied than before, with new environmental set pieces, and much more visual diversity.

👾 New Threats: Prototyping the New Enemies

To match the step up in procedural level creation, I'm prototyping an entirely new roster of enemies. Note: Because we are still early in the design and prototyping phase, all of these concepts are subject to change based on playtesting.

Here is a sneak peek at a few of the ideas currently on the workbench:

• Suckbot: Ranged Sniper / Disruptor - She keeps her distance, firing lethal projectiles directly from her metal titties, instantly teleporting to a new location if you get too close.

• The Siren: A floating, female torso. Her face splits open to lock a tractor beam onto the player, powered by purple cosmic energy. This beam reduces the player's movement speed to a crawl while gradually siphoning their HP.

• Pyro Bot: Spider mech with rotating turret flamethrower. Slowly advances toward the player. Stops to sweep its flamethrower in an arc, leaving behind temporary fire zones.

• Faptasms: A floating biomechanical orb with a sphincter for a face and whipping neon green tentacles. It can shoot slow-moving but powerful orbs of cosmic energy that cause chain reaction cosmic disturbances within 50m of impact.

• Whip-Tendril: A stationary, tentacle growth congealed from cosmic nova energy.

• JankBot Assault Unit: The T-3001 "Dummy Driver" is a bizarre, low-tech assault unit featuring an inflatable sex doll strapped into a rugged assault unit. Frozen in a perpetual scream with red lips, it advances directly toward the player while unleashing a continuous stream of minigun fire.

There's still a mountain of work ahead, but I'm aiming to get the next update out as soon as possible, featuring the new Animation/Pose Preset Saving system alongside some of these new gameplay mechanics, procedural improvements, and sandbox additions. Stay tuned!
